Paul Kellerman

Kellerman is a man with a mission. Make sure that Lincoln Burrows is executed or else. Anyone who gets in his way is eliminated. Even his partner, who was also his close friend.

During season 1, which was only a few weeks long, he killed six people and attempted to kill another three. The six that were murdered were: Lisa Rix and Adrian (LJ's mother and step-father), Sebastian (Veronica's ex-fiance), Leticia Barris (Crab Simmons' girlfriend), his partner Agent Danny Hale and Quinn, who was hired by "The Company" to replace Kellerman and Hale. Agent Kellerman also attempted to murder Veronica Donovan, Nick Savrinn and LJ Burrows.

Fifteen years ago, Paul Kellerman graduated from West Point. He then fought in the Gulf War and was the first to be promoted to captian. Kellerman had a promising future in the army, but was approached by the Secret Service, offering him a leadership position. On his application, Kellerman wrote that he wanted to become a Secret Service agent "to help defend our country".

Paul Kellerman and Daniel Hale were partners for five years. Kellerman was seen as the ruthless one, shooting anybody in his way, whereas Hale was more hesitant. In the end, Hale decided to give it all up and move away. He contacted Veronica Donovan and arranged to meet her so that he could give her information that will lead to the exoneration of Lincoln Burrows. However Kellerman joined them, and upon learning that Hale was giving Veronica names including his own, Kellerman shot Hale dead. Daniel Hale had young children and a pregnant wife.

Kellerman�s alias is Owen Kravecki, a sales manager for a beef jerky company. He was almost killed by LJ Burrows, but the police intervened before anything happened.

Kellerman seems to personally know President Caroline Reynolds, as he sometimes makes personal references during conversations, seems to be very comfortable with her and also genuinely cares about her. We know that they have known each other since at least 1992, but are not sure how long. We are currently unaware of any past or present relationships between Paul Kellerman and Caroline Reynolds.

Officially, Paul Kellerman is not listed as a member of the Secret Service or even as an employee of the Federal Government.
